A/N: yeah more people have viewed! I'm going to be one of THOSE authors that need a certain amount of reviews before I update again. I don't wanna waste my time puttin' all this up when nobody is reviewing. Okay, now that that's out of the way. I'm gonna start doing response time at the end of every chapter. If you have an account you'll be seeing a private message thing pop up in your emails and your PM box. That's all. Hope you like this Chappie.

Both Yami and Hikari found out they had magical power. Yami was slower at learning the spells than Hikari, but she had more control of her magic. Hikari was not very patient (Sorry if that's spelled wrong) at learning how to control her magic. One day she and her mother were out behind the house in the yard, practicing.

"I can't do it!" She whined as yet another shield expanded and burst in the young child's face.

"If you would just-"Her exasperated mother started, but stopped when the child's face grew terrified. A dark shadow over pasted the house and the creature landed in the front yard.

Celeste couldn't call on Charles to scare away the beast, for he was in the woods with Yami practicing her magic. Instead she took Hikari's small toddler hand and led her to the front yard of the house. A ginormous dragon with glittering gold scales, piercing yellow eyes, and a long narrow mid-section (I don't know how to say torso for a dragon, sorry) lye perfectly still curled up at the foot of the porch steps. Celeste gasped, dropped her daughter's hand, and ran into the woods.

Hikari was left standing alone in front of the beast. The creature awoke, and as if noticing where she was for the first time, saw the child standing 3 feet (.91 meters) from its golden snout, "Hello child." Was all she said to Hikari.

Hikari was frightened by the beast and turned to run.

"Wait, I didn't mean to scare you. What's your name, young one?" The dragon stood and placed its head down to eye level with Hikari. Of course the dragon knew who this was, why else would she be there? The child was mesmerized by the dragon. "You can touch me. I won't hurt you." The toddlers hand reached out to do that very thing. Her delicate hand lightly grazed the dragon's snout, and for a moment all was quiet. Both dragon and child closed their eyes. The dragon heard a slight rustle in the distance and her eyes shot open.

"My name is…" The child couldn't finish her sentence, before her father came, saw the dragon, scooped up Hikari, and ran into the woods without a word.

"Hikari," he said breathlessly, "never go near a dragon. They're very dangerous."

"Why? She seemed nice. She seemed… she seemed… like me." The small child could barely hold onto her father's neck. Her father stopped at a clearing. He glanced around him to make sure that the dragon wasn't following him, but to no such avail. Soon a large shadow over passed the clearing. Hikari looked up to see the golden dragon flying high above them. Her large wings looked as if they were thin pieces of gold pressed into a sheet and crafted into wings.

She landed in the middle of the clearing; on the other side stood Celeste and Yami. The dragon spoke, "Charles Light, why do you run from me?"

Charles put a protective arm around his daughter's flat chest, "Our daughter will not be taken from us."

The Dragon seemed to give a sigh, "She needs help you cannot give."

"We can try."

Celeste took a step into the clearing leaving Yami in the shadows, "Charles, stop being so stubborn. I don't want her to go either, but… she has a gift we can't control. The dragon will help. Please… swallow your pride and except help." Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.

"Can we see her?" Light ran out from behind her father's protective arm, and into the dragon's paw (Err… claw? I really don't know.).

"Sadly, no. learning the ancient magic of dragon slaying takes complete concentration, solitude, and it isn't as easy as it seems." Hikari jumped from the dragon's paw/claw and onto its back.

"Small one, would you like to learn magic with me?"

"Yes, but…" she looked down at her mother's crying face, "what about my family?"

"You won't see them for a very long time…"

"Can I learn magic and come back to them? I want to use my magic to the best of my abilities, but I don't wanna leave my family."

Yami ran out of the shadows and into the light, "Why are you taking her she can't even control her own magic. Take me instead! Please! Training with a dragon is a lifelong goal of any magician. She wouldn't take use anything you taught her!" Yami had a dark glint to her eyes.

"Yami… There is darkness in your heart. I cannot take someone with darkness. Small one, has the choice been made?"

"Yes." Hikari had to force her tears back.

The dragon placed Hikari in between her two parents. Immediately her mother dropped down to her knees, and tied an obsidian celestial key around her daughter's neck, "You must promise never to take this off. Remember where you come from my little Light." Choking back tears, Celeste gave her daughter one last hug and kiss.

"The time has come. We must go." The dragon picked Hikari up, placed her in between two spines, and took off into the endless sapphire sky. Hikari glanced down, with tears in her eyes, at her broken family; a fuming sister, crying mother, and a remorseful father. For the first time in her life, that she could remember, Hikari allowed herself to cry.

A/N: Alright, that was the first real chapter of "Her story". Now onto review response:

London: No, Charles isn't the antagonist if that's what you're getting at. He actually has a much less purpose in this story. I have a major idea for an antagonist in later chapters you will see who it is.

That's it for reviews.

BEFORE I FORGET I need 10 reviews from at least 5 different people until I update next. Yup, I just went there. Have fun and KEEP READING!
